Best online accounting platforms for Spain compared

online-accounting-program

For most freelancers, Anfix is the cheapest accounting platform that covers the quarterly tax forms, from €4.99 a month on annual billing. Quipu is the simplest to use, Holded is the most complete, and renn is the option if you want an accountant to file your taxes for you.

We compared six platforms on price, what each plan includes and whether they are ready for Verifactu. All prices were checked on each provider's website on 17 September 2026 and exclude VAT.

If you only need to issue invoices, start with the best invoicing platform instead.

What makes a good accounting platform for a Spanish business

A good platform keeps your books and gives you the numbers for Modelo 303 (VAT) and Modelo 130 (income tax) every quarter. If you run an SL, it also has to produce the formal ledgers and the annual accounts.

We checked five things on each one: the price of the plan you would really need, whether it prepares the Spanish tax forms, bank connection, automatic reading of expense receipts, and whether the vendor has published its Verifactu responsible declaration.

1. Best for freelancers who want it simple

Quipu

Quipu pricing page with the Starter, Solution and Premium plans

Quipu is a Spanish tool for freelancers and small businesses. Every plan has unlimited invoices and quotes, and it reads expense receipts automatically, with 30 scans a month on Starter.

Its Verifactu responsible declaration is public, signed on 29 July 2025. The system works only in VERI*FACTU mode, so each invoice record goes to the tax agency when it is issued.

Pros

Cons

Pricing

Starter €17, Solution €30 and Premium €59 a month. There is a 15-day free trial with no card, and in September 2026 the first three months were at 50% off.

2. Best price for the quarterly tax forms

Anfix

Anfix covers accounting and invoicing, and many gestorías use it too, so your accountant may already know it. Modelo 303 and Modelo 130 are included from the cheapest plan.

Verifactu is included in all five plans. We did not find its responsible declaration published on its website, so ask for it before you sign.

6. Best if you would rather not do the accounting yourself

Pros

Cons

Pricing

Copilot €0. Autopilot min €40, Autopilot €50 and Autopilot max €70 a month on annual billing, or €50, €60 and €80 paying monthly.

What a freelancer with 15 invoices a month really pays

Entry prices hide the limits. We took a freelancer who issues 15 invoices a month and wants the quarterly VAT and income tax figures, and looked for the cheapest plan on each platform that covers it.

PlatformPlan neededWhy this planPer monthPer year
Zoho BooksStandard, annualBank feeds start here. Needs a B2Brouter account for Verifactu€10€120
AnfixAvanzado, annualBásico stops at 60 invoices a year€12.49€149.88
QuipuStarter, monthlyUnlimited invoices. Bank connection would need Solution, at €30€17€204

Sage ActiveEssentials, monthlyOnline accounting and VAT returns start here€49€588
rennAutopilot, annualAutopilot min stops at 10 invoices a month. Tax filing included€50€600

Prices checked on 17 September 2026 on each provider's website. VAT and launch discounts excluded.

With the five software plans you get the numbers, but you still file the forms yourself or pay a gestoría on top. renn is the only option in this list where the price includes the filing.

Verifactu decides the shortlist

From 1 January 2027 for companies and 1 July 2027 for autónomos, every invoice has to come from a system that meets Verifactu. The tax agency does not publish a list of approved software, so each vendor signs its own responsible declaration.

Quipu and Zoho Books publish theirs. Xero, another well-known international option, has no Verifactu support yet: the request is still open on its public product ideas board. The full checklist is in Verifactu for autónomos.

If you only need invoicing

Accounting and invoicing are different purchases. These guides cover invoicing on its own:

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest online accounting platform?

Zoho Books has a free plan, and Anfix starts at €4.99 a month on annual billing with Modelo 303 and 130 included. For a freelancer with 15 invoices a month, the cheapest plans that cover it cost between €120 and €150 a year.

What is the difference between accounting software and invoicing software?

Invoicing software issues documents to clients. Accounting software keeps your books, reconciles your bank and produces the figures for your tax returns, and the cheapest plans usually cover only invoicing.

Which online accounting platforms are ready for Verifactu?

Quipu and Zoho Books publish their responsible declaration. Anfix, Holded and renn state that their invoices comply, and Sage says Sage Active is adapted. Xero does not support Verifactu.

Is there an official list of Verifactu approved software?

No. Each vendor signs its own responsible declaration, and the tax agency does not approve software in advance. Ask the vendor for the document.

Do I still need a gestoría if I use an accounting platform?

A platform records and calculates, but someone still has to file the forms. You can do it yourself, pay a gestoría, or use a service that includes filing, as explained in tax advisor in Spain.

Can I change platform later?

Yes. Export your invoices and ledgers in Excel before you cancel. Quipu, for example, lets you take all your data and attached documents when you leave.
